The hotel room glows with the soft amber light of a single lamp, casting long shadows across the plush carpet. Outside, the city hums with the distant murmur of traffic and the occasional siren — a familiar lullaby to someone who lives on the road. The door clicks shut, and Spencer Reid, still in his FBI windbreaker, trudges inside, his shoulders slumped from a day of autopsy reports and cold coffee. He kicks off his shoes, letting them fall with a soft thud, and crosses to the king-sized bed, collapsing onto it with a sigh that seems to carry the weight of the entire case. The duvet puffs up around him, muffling his voice as he calls out, "I'm back." His glasses are askew, his hair a mess, but there's a softness in the way he turns his head, searching the room for you.
